Filming on the show’s new run, which chronicles the fictitious former chat-show host’s working life at the minnow radio station North Norfolk Digital, got underway in February and Sky has now confirmed that Mid Morning Matters 2 will be shown on Sky Atlantic during 2013.

Steve Coogan’s much-loved comedy creation returned to the small screen earlier this year after the actor’s production company Baby Cow signed an exclusivity deal with Sky. Partridge’s TV comeback Welcome to the Places of My Life was seen by 216,000 viewers on Sky Atlantic when it was broadcast in June.

The new series will be produced by Coogan, Armandio Iannucci and Baby Cow’s chief executive Henry Normal, who said: “A second series of Mid Morning Matters direct for Sky Atlantic. Alan’s fortunes have finally turned.”
